Chapter 10: Card Compatibility
“Sorry, I couldn’t control myself. After all, living with a beautiful woman, I had to take a photo and post it on Card Blog or social dia to express my joy,” Luo Sheng said with a sarcastic smile.
“You—!”
Qin Jianjia’s face turned red with anger, wishing she could beat up the person in front of her.
Luo Sheng pretended to be displeased and said, “Why are you being so stingy? I just posted: ‘The goddess is at my place, and she loves picking her feet.’ Don’t worry, I didn’t reveal your address. I’m a man of my word and never break promises.”
His words only made things worse.
Blue veins popped up on Qin Jianjia’s fair skin, and her delicate hands clenched into fists, ready to cross the line and hit him.
Luo Sheng imdiately jumped off the sofa. “A gentleman uses words, not fists. Besides, we agreed not to cross this red line. You can’t break the rules you set yourself!”
“Delete it…!”
Qin Jianjia squeezed out these three words through gritted teeth.
“No way. What if I delete it and you hit ? A boy needs to protect himself when he’s out, right?” Luo Sheng showed her his phone screen, lingering on the photo sending options.
“Shaless!”
Qin Jianjia turned and went back to her room. After a loud bang, the sound of “click, click” locking the door was heard.
“Mission accomplished,” Luo Sheng smiled triumphantly.
He lounged comfortably on the soft sofa, picked up the remote control, and enjoyed his morning.
One’s status at ho had to be earned by oneself.
He wasn’t the type to bow and scrape. Although this behavior was quite despicable, he had originally approached with goodwill and wanted to coexist peacefully. Unfortunately, the other party didn’t appreciate it, so he had to resort to this tactic.
Of course, occasionally teasing soone else’s goddess felt quite good.
Nice~
But soon, Luo Sheng found that watching TV wasn’t interesting. It was all about card introductions or card-related content, along with news about the Ghostly otherworld dinsion being conquered in Pingcheng.
Especially without soone to fight over the TV with him, it beca even less interesting.
He could only continue browsing the forum, looking for entertainnt.
After a while, he discovered that Experintal No. 2 School’s official account had created a new sub-page on the forum.
It would publish and rank the spiritual power strength of the new senior Card Masters, updating weekly.
At the end of the month, the top 10 ranked Card Masters could go to the Card Master Tower to draw cards.
This move was to encourage competition among Card Masters and also serve as a benefit.
It was said that the cards in the pool were school resources allocated by the Card Alliance based on the academy’s ranking, so useless cards donated by current teachers, or cards purchased by the school from graduated Card Masters.
The official notice specifically stated: 【The cards rewarded in the monthly rankings will not be lower than 3-star bronze, with a 3% chance of drawing a silver card. The probability increases for the top 5, for example, 4% for 5th place, 5% for 4th place, and so on.】
This week’s rankings:
Qin Jianjia, Bronze 7-star, 60%.
Li Shiyu, Bronze 5-star, 40%.
Wang Keai, Bronze 4-star, 39%
Xu Yourong, Bronze 4-star, 38%.
Xu Tianai, Bronze 4-star, 37%
The new week’s rankings had been updated, and Luo Sheng’s ranking was updated based on yesterday’s battle level of Bronze 2-star. However, he only advanced about 100 places, hovering around 500th place.
“It seems the competition is quite fierce, especially with the school announcing such benefit asures, which stimulates all Card Masters to so extent,” Luo Sheng muttered to himself.
It seed that obtaining benefits would not be easy for him.
About 30 minutes passed.
A hummingbird ssenger flew into the apartnt, dropped off the detection glove, and hurriedly left.
Luo Sheng eagerly fiddled with the detection glove.
He recalled his high school card knowledge.
In the past, Card Masters roughly divided “compatibility” into 4 stages.
Stage 1: The Card Master is completely unable to communicate with the card and has no qualification to use it. This often occurs when a Card Master tries to use a card above their rank (like a Bronze Card Master using a Silver card), or when using a newly acquired card.
Stage 2: The Card Master can barely use the card, but the power unleashed is incomplete. Most cards are at this stage when first obtained, with a few at Stage 1, completely unusable. Additionally, if a Card Master nurtures a card above their rank for a period of ti, it can reach Stage 2. This stage involves so extra spiritual power consumption to maintain the unstable state.
Stage 3: The Card Master skillfully uses the card and can stably unleash its power.
Stage 4: The Card Master is intimately connected with the card, using it at will, unleashing the card’s strongest power while minimizing spiritual power consumption.
Of course, Card Masters’ use of cards varies from person to person. So genius Card Masters can directly use newly acquired cards above their rank, while others may not be proficient with most cards but have extrely high compatibility with certain series of cards.
The ergence of the detector accurately quantifies this vague sense of connection, allowing Card Masters to accurately assess their own strength and test their compatibility with cards to build directional card decks.
The compatibility value is set from 0 to 100, with 0-9 being Stage 1, 10-39 Stage 2, 40-79 Stage 3, and 80-100 Stage 4.
Just now, Qin Jianjia tested her Silver card 【Angel’s Glory】, and the compatibility had reached 49.
“Indeed a genius girl.”
Luo Sheng also marveled at this.
She’s only Bronze 7-star, yet able to use a Silver card above her rank. This level of ability is truly remarkable.
Moreover, she’s also an Enhancer, practically the hope of the entire school.
Thinking of this, Luo Sheng suddenly felt his scalp tingling. He had just offended her. What if one day, she gets so angry that she decides to kill him?
Luo Sheng felt a chill down his neck and swallowed hard. He realized he had been too happy too soon. Only by becoming stronger could he ensure his own safety. These little tricks were just psychological victories.
“Forget it, I won’t think about her for now.”
Luo Sheng eagerly took out 【Fire Maiden】 and held it in his hand. Then, following the instructions, he input a bit of spiritual power to make the card resonate with the spiritual jade.
Beep beep…!
The detection glove made a sound, and a soft LCD screen displayed the number “82”.
“Is my compatibility with Acoley already this high? No wonder using her barely consus any spiritual power. Could it be that starting from a white card allows such high compatibility?” Luo Sheng looked at the number on the screen and began to ponder.
To prove his guess, he took out two Bronze cards: 【Battle Maiden】 and 【F-type Jack cha】.
One was cultivated from a white card, and the other was a Bronze card seized from soone else and then enhanced.
When the two cards were tested separately, the soft LCD screen displayed “84” and “81”. Both cards had almost reached Stage 4.
Even the domain card 【Black Mist】, which hadn’t been enhanced and was just drawn, had already reached a compatibility of 80.
Luo Sheng could now be certain of one thing: “The card compatibility must be affected by that mysterious ability.”
While he was happy, his brows also furrowed.
This mysterious golden finger was simply too astonishing. The compatibility was already at Stage 4 from the beginning. If discovered, it would be enough to attract the attention of the entire Card Master society.
He might even be taken away by the Card Alliance for all sorts of secret research. After all, in this disaster-stricken world, even a slight increase in Card Masters’ strength was invaluable.
He might even be captured to beco a stud, forced to constantly produce the next generation that could easily master cards.
Thinking of this, Luo Sheng felt a chill down his spine.
This world was too dangerous, there were always villains trying to harm him.
Luo Sheng imdiately put away the detection glove, but unexpectedly heard Qin Jianjia’s door open.
When she saw Luo Sheng covered in sweat, she frowned slightly: “Is the weather very hot?”
“???”
Luo Sheng was startled by Qin Jianjia’s sudden appearance, but he still said with a straight face: “I just wanted to show you my six-pack abs.”
Qin Jianjia gave him a disdainful look and didn’t respond.
Wearing a sporty short skirt, black thigh-high stockings, and military boots, she strode towards the main door.
“Where are you going?” Luo Sheng asked tentatively.
“Ghostly otherworld dinsion!”
Qin Jianjia slamd the door shut, her voice coming from outside. The clicking sound of her boots gradually faded away.
